Contemplation

There are moments, like this one, 

where he seems to be deep in thought.

 I sit back, quietly,

trying to catch a glimpse

of what he holds inside.

I wonder where his mind is

and just what he is thinking.

I may never know,

but I can be there 

when he is done, 

with an ear to listen,

a hand to hold,

and arms 

ready to embrace him.
